Patterned umbrellas
The Japanese really love their umbrellas and it makes sense because across the country they do get a lot of rain. So because they like to add their own flare and style to everything, unusual umbrellas have been invented to mix things up. It wouldn’t be Japan if they didn’t bring something new to the table.
In this case, these umbrellas have secret designs that only appear when they get wet. So in other words, they look like regular umbrellas until the rain hits them and reveals something completely different. It’s not the craziest thing on this list, but it is a nice little detail we appreciate.
